Get To Know Me✨
🙋🏽♀️ Hello! I’m Marissa, and I make content about the Muppets!
💚 I’ve loved the Muppets since I was a kid, but got really into them when the 2011 movie was released. The Muppets brought me a lot of comfort that year as I was going through a loss in the family.
🎟️ I truly fell in love with theme parks in 2012, and would frequent MuppetVision 3D when it was still in DCA. While I’m very sad it’s leaving Hollywood Studios, I’m excited for what’s to come when the Muppet rollercoaster is opened.
🛍️ I started buying Muppet items in 2011, and a little more frequently once I started working for Disney in 2015. But I didn’t get serious about collecting until 2021 when I found a Miss Piggy vase made by Sigma Tastesetter.
🤳🏽 I started making content on TikTok of my collection, and feel like I have a real community there with genuine people who love the Muppets and hope to make a community here as well!
